Reducing emissions in a multimodal mobility hub system: the effect of electrification

Ridesharing offers a promising solution to urban mobility challenges by providing affordability and convenience while reducing congestion and environmental impact. This work proposes a system for multimodal mobility hubs equipped with parking facilities, integrating personal vehicles with carpooling options and shuttle services into a cohesive network designed to accommodate real-time inbound and outbound ride requests. A column generation approach is employed to optimize the environmental impact associated with the life cycle emissions of vehicles. Furthermore, the study evaluates the effects of increased electrification by analyzing the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles under different energy mixes and levels of adoption.
